It extends from Glover Archbold Park on the west to North Capitol Street on the east. Its northern boundary is formed by Whitehaven Parkway west of Rock Creek, and by Connecticut Avenue, U Street, and Florida Avenue east of Rock Creek. The southern boundary is formed by the Potomac River, the Central Employment Area, and New York Avenue (east of 7th Street). These boundaries are shown on the Map at left. Most of this area has historically been Ward 2, although in past and present times parts have also been included in Wards 1, and 5, and 6. 2100.1 2100.2 Near Northwest is known for its historic architecture, well-established neighborhoods, lively shopping areas, and nationally recognized institutions. These features provide enduring reminders of the city’s growth, from the 18th century to today’s international city. The Georgetown Historic District, established in 1950 in response to the demolition of large numbers of waterfront and canal-related historic buildings, was the first historic district established in the city. Today, more than half of Near Northwest land area is included in historic districts; historic landmarks are designated throughout the area with concentrations in Georgetown, on Washington Circle, within the campus of George Washington University, in Dupont and Logan Circles, and along Massachusetts Avenue. These designations include some of the oldest residential and commercial buildings in the city. 2100.2 2100.3 The development pattern is one of the most dense in the metropolitan region. Near Northwest neighborhoods contain some of the most diverse housing stock in the District, varying from single-family homes to high-rise apartments. Townhouses and mid-rise apartment buildings dating from the mid 19th to early 20th centuries define the area’s residential neighborhoods; these are most prominent in Georgetown, Burleith, Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom, Logan Circle, Shaw, and Mount Vernon Square. Kalorama principally consists of single family homes dating to the early 20th century. Large apartment buildings-many built during the 1920s and 1930s-are concentrated along major roadways including Connecticut Avenue, New Hampshire Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue, Rhode Island Avenue, and 16th Street. Mid-century modern and mMore contemporary high-density construction defines the West End and the 14th Street corridor, as well as riverfront communities like the Watergate and Washington Harbour. 2100.3 2100.4 The area, outside of Georgetown, is well connected to other parts of the District and region by mass transit, including the Red, Green, Orange, and Blue and Silver subway lines and multiple bus lines. Several parkways, highways, and interstates also pass through or are immediately adjacent to the area, often creating barriers between neighborhoods, parks and the Potomac River in the eastern portion of the area. These include Interstate 66, the Whitehurst Freeway, Canal Road, Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, and the I-395/Center Leg Freeway. The overall street pattern reflects the L’Enfant Plan, with prominent diagonal boulevards bisecting a rectangular grid. 2100.4 Chapter 21_Public_Review_Draft_NNW_Oct2019.docx Page 3 of 39 Comprehensive Plan Near Northwest Area Element October 2019 Draft Amendments 2100.5 Shopping areas in Near Northwest range from regional destinations such as like M Street in Georgetown to neighborhood commercial districts such as like 17th Street in Dupont Circle. The more prominent retail areas are on the major streets and avenues including like Connecticut Avenue, U Street NW, 14th Street, and 7th and 9th Streets. There are smaller retail districts throughout the area, and corner stores in almost every residential neighborhood. While there are a limited number of neighborhood parks, the entire Near Northwest area is within one and a half miles of Rock Creek Park or the National Mall. 2100.5 2100.6 Near Northwest is home to a number of institutions known both locally and nationally. Georgetown University, on a hill and somewhat removed from the activity of the city, has a number of Gothic buildings that establish an image of tradition Georgetown University is one of the world's leading academic and research institutions. Established in 1789, Georgetown is the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. The 100-acre main campus overlooks the Potomac River and features traditional and modern architecture - including Healy Hall, designed in Neo-Medieval style,built from 1877- 1879, and designated as a National Historic Landmark. Today, much of the university’s open space is open to community members, neighborhood schools, organizations, and individuals for recreational use, thus, maximizing the available open space in the densely urbanized neighborhood. George Washington University, in Foggy Bottom at the edge of the Central Business District is a much more urban campus well integrated into the dense fabric of the neighborhood surrounding it. Museums and historic sites including like the Phillips Collection, Woodrow Wilson House, and the Mary Mcleod McLeod Bethune Council House attract visitors from the region and across the country. 14th Street is home to the Studio Theater as well as other performing arts venues and galleries. After years of disinvestment following the 1968 riots, 14th Street has experienced intense development activity and restaurant openings, which have contributed to establishing the corridor as one of DC’s premier food and entertainment districts. Foreign embassies are concentrated along Massachusetts Avenue, and in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, and in Kalorama. 2100.6 2100.7 AThere are a number of local community and business associations that play an active role in shaping Near Northwest land use decisions. In addition to seven Advisory Neighborhood Commissions that represent residents from three Wards, there are many community associations and active groups with a specific focus. Some, like the Georgetown Business Improvement District Partnership, work toward building a stronger business community. Others, like the Georgetown Citizens Association Citizens Association of Georgetown, the Foggy Bottom Association, the Logan Circle Community Association, and the Dupont Circle Conservancy have strong preservation programs. Others work directly with residents to create a higher quality of life. Some, like the Georgetown Community Partnership - which includes community, university, and student leaders - was formed as a consensus-based forum to develop a campus plan for Georgetown's historic main campus and manage community- university issues. For instance, Shaw EcoVillage is training youth to be more effective leaders and catalysts for sustainable change in the District. 2100.7 Chapter 21_Public_Review_Draft_NNW_Oct2019.docx Page 4 of 39 Comprehensive Plan Near Northwest Area Element October 2019 Draft Amendments 2100.8 This Planning Area has seen a modest increase in its population in recent years. The recent trend toward urban living - occurring in cities across the United States - has made this area increasingly desirable and has contributed to higher home costs. In the recent past, iIncreasing values in long sought-after neighborhoods like Georgetown, Kalorama, Foggy Bottom, West End, and Dupont Circle, haves resulted in development activity moving east into Logan Circle, Shaw, and Mount Vernon Square. The strong real estate market has prompted many owners in these neighborhoods to renovate or sell their properties, leading to sharp increases in home prices and rents and a loss of affordable units. 2100.8 2100.9 The most significant challenge facing the Near Northwest Planning Area is retaining the physical and social fabric of the community in the face of intense economic pressure. Parts of the area are still struggling to find the right balance between development and preservation. This struggle plays out in daily debates on physical planning issues like height, scale, and design, and on social issues relating to changing demographics and cultural values. Policies are needed to address a host of local issues; foremost among them are the preservation and production of affordable housing, strengthening opportunities for small and local businesses, maintaining existing and expanding new infrastructure and services, like schools and recreational space, to serve a growing population of families in the area, and addressing the conflicts that inevitably result from the area’s highly diverse mix of land uses and densities. 2100.9 2101 HISTORY 2101.1 Near Northwest includes the oldest inhabited areas of the District. Georgetown, established in 1751 by the Maryland Assembly, was a tobacco port and independent municipality incorporated

  • Washington, D.C
    Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, "the District", or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. The signing of the Residence Act on July 16, 1790, approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast. The U.S. Constitution provided for a federal district under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Congress and the District is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. The states of Maryland and Virginia each donated land to form the federal district, which included the preexisting settlements of Georgetown and Alexandria. Named in honor of George Washington, the City of Washington was founded in 1791 to serve as the new national capital. In 1846, Congress returned the land originally ceded by Virginia and created a single municipal government for the remaining portion of the District in 1871. Washington, D.C., had an estimated population of 646,449 in 2013, the 23rd most populous city in the United States. Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.8 million, the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country. The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, president, and Supreme Court. Washington is home to many national monuments and museums, which are primarily situated on or around the National Mall.
